The Treadmill
Today's young caught up in work
Long hours in tiredness they lurk
Stress strain building in its wake
Always in this burnt up stage
As the years one by one go by
Life`s promises become a sigh
Like the proverbial pie in the sky
Goals always way too high
Life always spent on other`s goals
Without enriching ones own soul
In bondage as an indentured slave
For others all his life he gave
The mirror on the wall tells it all
Sliding to such a painful fall
Crow`s feet and streaks of grey
How sad to be going this way
Doctors and drugs now life's props
Can all this come to a stop stop
Lost for ever life`s vibrant zest
Can one ever pass this test
Have hope there is another side
Simple steps for anyone as a guide
Ups and downs in a bumpy ride
Fight not just flow with the tide
Step back watch yourself
Always busy by one self
Hey! are there two in this play
One self seeing ones mind at sway
Be as active as you really want
But remain still and calm as a plant
In peace and bliss always basking
Everything then comes without asking
The busy person in this way
Blissfully spends his day
Every moment of the day in full repose
Always wonderfully in full compose
This moment is all that matters
Savor as much of all it offers
The future will become this moment
The past will no longer torment
